And he was one of the better students. He actually cared enough to argue.

I was shocked when my English professor *in college* had to address the entire class regarding the ridiculous things she saw on papers. She spent half an hour on stupid mistakes like "a women." I didn't even know that kind of stupidity was possible past 3rd grade.

I'd be willing to bet that a majority of the kids I work with daily cannot consistently write a complete sentence properly. I'm not even mentioning spelling.

Accountability. Kids can't learn if they're never given the structure to not only want to learn, but be made to learn.

Truly sad. Future is not bright for many.
